Dental Crowns

At Liberty Dental Group in Brentwood, CA, we're all about restoring your smile to its full glory. Dental crowns are a highly effective treatment option, offering both functional and cosmetic benefits. From enhancing the size and shape of your tooth to preventing further damage, a dental crown is more than just a fix—it's an investment in your oral health.

Why Are Dental Crowns Needed?

There are various reasons why Dr. Michael Molosky might recommend dental crowns. Typically, a crown is required if you have a tooth that is cracked, fractured, or broken. Dental crowns can also be a lifesaver after root canal therapy, which often leaves the tooth vulnerable to breaking. In cases where a tooth has extensive decay or a large filling, crowning it offers additional protection and restoration.

Wondering if you're the right fit for a dental crown? Dr. Molosky will thoroughly examine your oral health to make an informed decision. Immediate treatment with a crown can stop further damage to a compromised tooth. Whether you're a first-time recipient or need an older crown replaced, Liberty Dental Group is fully equipped to address your needs. Serving not just Brentwood, but also surrounding locations like Santa Monica, Westwood, Pacific Palisades, Bel Air, and Sawtelle, we're your go-to dental solution.

What Happens During the Dental Crown Procedure?

Curious about what is involved in a dental crown procedure? Initially, Dr. Molosky will numb the area needing treatment with a local anesthetic. Your comfort is our top priority. The tooth will be reshaped to accommodate the crown, and impressions are taken to create a custom-fit crown. You'll return for a second appointment where the final crown will be securely placed, gifting you with a full and healthy-looking smile that can last for years.

While dental crowns are highly durable, they aren't invincible. With proper care, however, you can expect your crowns to last for many years. Regular check-ups at Liberty Dental Group will help ensure the longevity of your crowns and overall oral health.

How Do I Care for My Dental Crown?

Good oral hygiene practices are essential for maintaining your dental crown. Brushing twice daily, flossing, and regular dental cleanings will go a long way in extending the life of your crown. Feel free to consult with Dr. Molosky on additional care tips specific to your needs.

Veneers vs. Crowns: Which Option is Right for Me?

Both veneers and crowns serve unique purposes. Veneers are more cosmetic, whereas crowns provide both cosmetic and functional benefits. Dr. Molosky can discuss your individual circumstances to help you make the right choice for your dental needs.

In cases where a crown may not be suitable, other options like fillings, inlays, or onlays might be considered. Again, a thorough consultation with Dr. Molosky will provide you with the best course of action for your specific situation.
